Hmm, I just realized that tox uses the latest pytest version, not the one I
have installed in the environment it is running (which makes sense). This
means that the travis jobs for pytest 2.3.5 are actually running the tests
using 2.4.2. :)

To solve this, I guess the simplest approach would be to read the tox.ini
file and replace occurrences of plain "pytest" to "pytest==<version>" to
enforce tox to use the version we want. Don't know how/if that would play
out nicely with devpi, seems very specific for the purpose we are trying to
accomplish.

I'm finishing the page where the results are posted, at the very least we
will have a compatibility matrix of plugins against python versions and the
latest pytest version. Once I finish this (probably today) I will let you
know so you can take a look.

Best Regards,
Bruno.
